@ConnellyAL @TheEconomist Wow. What a great gig. Congratulations

I am happy to share that I will be joining @TheEconomist in August as senior Asia correspondent and Asia diplomatic editor, covering the big stories in Asian geopolitics, security, and diplomacy. I will continue to be based in Singapore, reporting from across the region.

@EvanLaksmana @SamRoggeveen @AusForeign Thanks @EvanLaksmana Always good to read your patient explanations. Wake up Canberra!

Chuffed to be in great company with @SamRoggeveen and @EmmaMConnors for a great debate on 🇮🇩🇦🇺 ties at the latest issue of @AusForeign 👇🏻

Excellent piece by @EmmaMConnors in @FinancialReview on the government’s new $2 billion investment fund to promote energy transition in se Asia. I suggest it should focus on building renewables in #indonesia. @CentrePolicyDev. @JEChalmers @AlboMP @dfat afr.com/world/asia/why…

afr.com/world/asia/she… Prabowo vowed to continue Jokowi's policies and Jokowi's implicit support was a big factor in last week's election. But that continuity doesn't look like it will extend to long serving and highly respected finance minister ⁦@SriMulyaan⁩

“Voters believe he is more gemoy and less fiery than as a younger man. In Indonesia’s elite circles, though, his temperament remains a talking point.” ⁦@EmmaMConnors⁩ afr.com/world/asia/why…

Waiting for Prabowo. Exit polls and early count suggest he's got the majority he needs to become Indonesia's next President. Buckle up

Indian students from certain degrees will be allowed stay for more time than students from other countries as the existing 🇦🇺🇮🇳 FTA (concluded under the Morrison govt) takes precedence over Albanese govt’s new migration reforms afr.com/politics/feder….

“I am saying this only now that chief of staff General Brawner and I had a chat during a recent executive session. He told me on one occasion, Huang confronted him and even aggressively pointed at him while saying, ‘Don’t provoke us’.” onenews.ph/articles/dinur…

Absolutely. Good to have something to smile about in a grim week.

Anies Baswedan, who is a serious contender to be Indonesia's next president, implies he would back Ukraine: “when one country invades another country, and the invader is your friend, should you be silent? No! You tell them it’s wrong... territorial sovereignty is a key principle”

Prabowo’s “plan” bears a striking resemblance to what happened in East Timor, and we know how that went…

@AnneABarker @maxwalden_ @abcnews You'll be missed Anne. Thanks for the camaraderie.
